GEEZ-O-PETE I've been waiting for someone to put an LS7 in one. 427 in a 951! That's gonna be tough to keep those tires hooked up!

docwyte

Well, the cam, valve springs, pushrods and timing chain arrived today. Finally!

The motor can go into the car permenantly now. Still waiting on the headers to get back from coating/final welding and the oil pan. Both are on their way, I was hoping they'd arrive today so the shop would have everything.

At least with the motor built and in the car the wiring harness can be done, brakes can be done, AC can be done, etc, etc...

haven't had time to keep up with the thread, but which cam did you end up ordering? and are you running stock heads?

docwyte

Through a complete vendor comedy I ended up with a Thunder Racing 224 cam.

Doc,
Thunder racing has a great reputation on LS motors. If I decide to change the cam in my LS3 Hot cam motor I would probably work with Thunder Racing. They are approximatley 5 miles from my house.

Dyno 224 cam with other "stuff" added. Got to love that torque curve from 2k-6K.

tr224 is a good, proven cam. older in design, but you'll probably see 380ish rwhp on stock heads. 30-40+ with aftermarket heads.

docwyte

Mid to high 380's is the limit I can make to stay in TTS, so that'd be fine. I'm running the '02 SS heads (241's I think) and LS6 intake manifold and throttle body along with 1 7/8's long tube headers, cats, custom 2.5" dual exhaust with X pipe and a straight shot intake.

onspeed

can't wait to see videos, cammed ls1's sound so sick. the s2 tranny will hold up with the ls1? also, 380hp-ish is the average for f-body drivetrain loss, might be higher/lower with the 944 components.

been considering throwing a cam in my formy, especially with those 5.0 rustangs becoming popular.

docwyte

Yeah, it should be up and running by this coming weekend! I'm really excited about it!!

S2 trans should hold up fine, it has the hardened internals that the 951S trans do, plus I added a strengthening plate to it.

I'm heading back up there this weekend. Hopefully I'll see yours running

I was going to hit Texas Motorsports Ranch on the 18th till my wife reminded me it's a rather large holiday for us that day. Doh! Just sent an email to cancel my date and will hopefully be able to run the following weekend instead.

I have stock 241 heads with a stock LS1 intake, RH headers with dual 2.5" exhaust, larger throttle body, MTI Stealth 2 cam with the TI spring/retainer package, custom tune... here's my dyno. Yours should be pretty close.

Nice! That would work well for me.

Just a warning to the OP - Rennlist gets kinda boring when you come here and 99% of the threads don't apply to your car anymore!
